The adventures of an extroverted cyber nerd and the people Talos helps to fight the good fight
Summary: In this Cisco Talos Threat Source newsletter, Senior Security Strategist Nick Schneider describes attending the NGO-ISAC annual summit at the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice, where Talos debuted a custom NGO version of the Backdoors & Breaches game. The newsletter also cites reporting that at least 97 major US water systems have serious cybersecurity vulnerabilities and compliance issues, notes NSA guidance to reboot mobile phones at least once a week, and flags QR codes in email as a phishing method that easily evades spam filters.
Bottom line: At least 97 major US water systems carry serious cybersecurity vulnerabilities and compliance issues, and the nonprofits that feed the hungry and protect refugees typically lack the budgets and practitioner expertise to defend themselves.
